[Solved] A new investigational drug is found to be highly soluble in water but prone to degradation below pH 3.0

A new investigational drug is found to be highly soluble in water but prone to degradation below pH 3.0. It is also found to be a potent drug requiring low doses. The drug shows good absorption around neutral pH values. The marketing folks of the company would like to develop an oral solid dosage form for this drug. Is this a correct choice? Provide your rationale if you choose either YES or NO. If the marketing folks only want a non-invasive dosage form, can you think of any other better dosage form? Provide an explanation for your answer.
